DATES & NUT BUTTER! Can you think of a better combination?!! These energy-packed bites are so yummy and satisfying! Sweetness from the dates, healthy source of fat from nut butter and protein for collagen or protein powder! What a balanced snack! But although dates are a healthy source of vitamins, minerals, and fibre, they are also high in natural, unrefined sugar and so enjoy in moderation (if you can hehe)! ✖️INGREDIENTS✖️
• 10 large pitted medjool dates (organic if you can) • 1/3 cup creamy nut butter of choice (you can get both dates and freshly made almond butter at @thesourcebulkfoods - how good!) • 2 tablespoons protein powder or collagen ✖️METHOD✖️
Slice each date in half and press down a bit to open them up In a bowl, mix together the nut butter and protein powder. Fill each date with the nut butter mixture. Place in freezer (I put in a large tupperware) and store until you are ready to snack! If you want to make it a bit EXTRA, sprinkle with coconut flakes, cacao powder, pomegranete seeds... Have you tried this combo?? 📸@pinterest

No I'm not some kind of wellness guru
No I'm not a naturopath.
No I'm not a business woman.
I am Julie and I love my Young Living lifestyle and I love to share with others so that they can have opportunity to enjoy this lifestyle too. I am a mum, a wife, a student, a friend, a sister, I'm just like you, just another human finding her way and figuring out how to get the most out of life in regards to wellness.
I spend time learning what I can about the essential oils and other products I use and how I can gain the most benefit for my wellness (physically and emotionally). I also spend time learning how I can support others in their journey.
If you want to be apart of this lifestyle there is always opportunity to start and enjoy the benefits like me. You don't have to make a living out of Young Living, most people don't, most just love using the products themselves. But the few that do want residual income will benefit from joining me team where I want to support you in your dreams.
If you just want to live this lifestyle or you want to live the lifestyle and share with others, dm me. There is the best deal ever happening at the moment where you get 3 extra essential oils free on top of the 11 in the starter kit 👏👏. Plus I always send my new oily family happy mail to help you know what to do once your kit arrives.
Are you ready to start living the Young Living lifestyle???

As this Monday draws to a close, ask yourself this Very Important Question: When was the last time you wished YOURSELF well? 🤷🏼‍♀️
::
Most of us are SO VERY GOOD at wishing OTHERS well...rushing in with kindness and grace...compelled by a genuine desire to see good things happen to the people in our lives. And, honestly, that’s a beautiful thing. A truly wonderful part of our big, bright hearts. ♥️
::
My challenge to you is this: With the same speed and selflessness that you wish All The Good Things for those in your tribe, WISH THE VERY SAME FOR YOURSELF. ♥️
::
Tonight. Tomorrow. The next day. The rest of the week. ♥️
::
In fact, experiment with making wishing YOURSELF well a practice. And take note of what happens for you. ♥️
::
Keep this in mind - our hearts can only overflow when they are full...we can only give love when we have love to give. ♥️
::
Wishing yourself well is an important piece in loving yourself so that you can love others. ♥️

💓Eat lentils, not lamb! Shepherd’s pie was traditionally made out of lamb, but we’d much rather eat this delicious shepherd’s pie that’s made with lentils – a nutritional powerhouse.
.
Lentils are loaded with folate, a B vitamin that helps to lower homocysteine in the blood. Elevated levels of homocysteine can contribute to heart disease by damaging artery walls, so it’s extremely important to get enough folate every day. Just 1 cup of cooked lentils will provide you with 90% of the recommended daily intake of folate.
.
Lentils are also a rich source of magnesium, an important mineral that most people are deficient in. Magnesium helps your arteries and veins to relax, which helps improve blood flow and the supply of oxygen and nutrients all over your body.
.
Lentils are great for people with diabetes because they’re packed with gut-friendly fiber that stabilizes blood glucose, preventing hyperglycemia as well as hypoglycemia.

Happy MLK JR day! Hope you were able to stay warm. One of the things I’ve been asked most recently for is plant based recipes. Which makes me so happy because I love hearing that there is a desire to boost plant intake no matter what your eating style and preferences are. I couldn’t help but want to feature this badass dietitian I was lucky to do my training with: @plantbased_raych .
.
With a background in both culinary arts and dietetics, she features creative and unique meals full of flavor that will leave you feeling inspired (with your mouth watering). Give her a follow to bless your feed with delicious plant based meals and snacks, like these chocolate hummus brownie bites!

Made plant based sloppy joes tonight from @thugkitchen and slathered that ish all over homemade corn bread.

Emotional resilience is a practice 🙏🏼and it’s worth getting comfortable with your inner world. I’m incredibly grateful I took the plunge and invested in learning Vedic meditation with @thebroadplace and Mindfulness Meditation with OpenGround. My daily practice is definitely helping carry me through this current life hiccup (and having a broken leg lends itself beautifully to plenty of seated meditation!).🧘🏼‍♀️ In a typical day, I’ll aim to sit for 20 minutes as soon as I wake up- using my Vedic mantra. I’ll also try and be more mindful during the day (drinking a cup of tea is my fav time to really slow down and tune in). In the evening we’ll do a body scan meditation before bed - but for me this often becomes a bit of a hybrid body scan/Vedic meditation. I go with whatever feels good :)
At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter what kind of meditation/mindfulness practice you follow (I tried various apps prior to the courses but couldn’t find one that “worked” for me). My one piece of advice; get into a regular practice BEFORE shit hits the fan - then you’ll have the emotional resilience to cope with whatever comes your way 🙏🏼❤️

With the school holidays nearing an end and all those holiday snacks and treats needing to be pushed aside 🚫🍞🥞🧀🍦🍾🥂🍺, a green smoothie is one way to get a healthy head-start to the day!💚🌿💚 It never ceases to amaze me how great and full of vitality I feel when my exercise and nutrition is on point.💯 Sure, I still lead a balanced life and enjoy treats but ensure they are exactly that - treats and not an every day occurrence. Hope you are doing something to nourish your body today!💖

I feel like I've waited such a long time for this day - first official day of my dietetic internship!!🙌🏼 My first rotation is part of my community nutrition & education rotations - very excited because I love nutrition education & aiding in disease prevention!
---
For the next 2 weeks, I will be at a Food Clinic/Pharmacy. The Food Clinic provides healthy food & nutrition education to people facing hunger. To receive assistance, individuals must receive a referral from a primary care provider at the facility. I cannot wait to see what I learn at this rotation😊
---
Follow me as I share my experiences & journey throughout the internship process for the next 7 months! Fellow interns & RDs, if you have any tips and/or suggestions about anything internship related - please share🤗💓

The other day I was making a yoghurt bowl and I often like to add a little sprinkle of turmeric to my bowls to give it an extra flavour. I was using a new jar of turmeric that doesn’t have the little sprinkle wholes, rather just a normal jar that you would use a spoon to scoop out of- except I thought I had enough control to lightly poor straight from the jar...I was so wrong 😭I ended up poring about a months worth of turmeric in my bowl and I stupidly thought my yoghurt bowl would still taste fine. It was disgusting tbh. I tried to cover the taste with extra cinnamon, maca powder, nutmeg and peanut butter but noting could mask the turmeric. I refused to waste a good yoghurt bowl so I ate the whole thing and know I can’t stand the smell of turmeric let alone the taste 😂 So this bowl of oats was turmeric-less, the first in a long time!! New oat recipe 👇🏼
•
Oatmeal consists of: rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, mashed banana, cinnamon and nutmeg 🍌
Toppings are: mango, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and a pool of honey almond butter from @arganiabutter 😍

Something I’ve been trying to be more conscious about is food waste. This super easy and flavorful salad I tossed together for lunch on this ice cold day makes use of celery leaves that otherwise may have been discarded! Check out the link in my bio for the full recipe. Are there any food items you have uses for that many people typically discard?! Let me know in the comments!

I just had the best chat with a gorgeous girl in the States! We had so many things in common and I felt a beautiful heart centred connection with her from the other side of the world! It has lit me up for a beautiful day.
It’s yet another universal reminder that community is so important for your health and happiness.
We know that lack of social connection is a greater prediction of illness than any specific food choice on its own.
Not only do I get to be part of a beautiful community called the Gratitude Gang, but the work I do is all about connecting with others and identifying my own truth to then attract my tribe to grow with and support.
If you have been interested in getting healthy then I am so proud to say that we have a supportive community that we plug you into to support you in living healthy in your own style.
Likewise if you love living a healthy lifestyle, love the idea of helping others and making new friends then I would be proud to invite you into our business community where we teach, mentor and cheer you on all the way to success and freedom 💕

Taking care of my little guy requires me taking care of myself. I started Twenty Five Eight to help moms feel nourished, supported, and loved. Being a mom is physical and emotional work. Watching Aydan grow reminds me of how important it is for me to fuel myself to keep up with him. Having these meals keeps me feeling energized, balanced, and fulfilled and gives me the ability to spend more time with him and less time planning meals. That is my hope for all mothers out there - for them to be taken care of in the same way that they care for the little ones in their lives.
